His longest run came in that last quarter when he sped by the Tribe defense for a 49-yard dash to the William & Mary 10-yard line. On the next play, McGill looked as though his run would be stopped with no gain, but he overpowered defenders in his path for his first of three consecu tive touchdowns. Bunting was proud of McGill’s comeback as well and saw it as a testament to the team’s strength and self-esteem. “He came back and played,” Bunting said. “He’s a tough kid. We’ve got a lot of tough kids, and I think that this game, if anything, will give them more confidence about being tough and mentally tough, hanging in there in tough situations.” Lewis did some rallying of his own in the first quarter when he ended a 47-yard run with a fumble on the 1-yard line. “I cut it back and wasn’t really taking care of the ball, but after that, put (the fumble) out of my mind,” Lewis said. “I just picked it up from there and just tried to go forward.” It would seem as though Scott, who scored UNC’s second touch down on an 8-yard run, got more playing time after McGill’s tempo rary exit from the game, but Lewis refuted the connection. “We have three great tailbacks, and we all do three different things,” Lewis said. “The rotation, that’s something that’s been going on for the past three or four years. That’s not going to change. We’re all going to play.” McGill added: “It’s like a three headed monster. All of us have different running styles, so no one gets down on themselves if they don’t get the yards yet.” With two running backs surpass ing 100 yards and a third nearing that mark, there was nothing to get down about. McGill said Saturday’s game felt better than his game against Wake Forest in 2003 when he rushed for a career-high of 244 yards. “This was great for the whole offense,” he said. “This is way bet ter than (the Wake Forest game) because we had two backs over 100. Chad was almost over 100; it felt great. It just shows how good the offensive line is.” At halftime, the coaching staff adjusted the plan to accentuate the promising ground game. “We had plans coming into the game, just running it, and the first half, we came out and we were passing a lot,” McGill said. “So we went into the locker room at halftime, and Coach came out, and he said, ‘Pound it.’ So that’s what we did.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Kennesaw State’s best chance came with less than 20 minutes remaining in the game, when Stephanie Grzeszkowiak appeared to find a seam at the top of the North Carolina goal box. Before she could take a shot, though, Amy Steadman slid in from the side to knock the ball away, and Kendall Fletcher booted it to HEIGHT FROM PAGE 16 The Tar Heels are not concerned that their size disadvantage will hurt them in physical games.

A unit that loomed as a ques tion mark at the beginning of the season has become a strength, especially as the offense struggles to find a rhythm. But make no mistake thus far, this isn’t the dominating North Carolina squad of a year ago, a team that steamrolled its opposition to the tune of 27-0-0. “Good thing it’s early in the season,” McDowell said. “It stinks because we know we’re known for scoring a lot, but we can do better.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. and we won 3-0,” senior Anne Felts said. “I think we can hang with them; we are all physical players. We are all strong.” Though the Tar Heels may be smaller than last year’s NCAA championship team, the talent and desire have all returned to assist them in their quest for another title.
